What Sets Rentalize Apart
Irish Compliance Built In
RTB registration and rent review notices, rent cap calculations, HAP, BER and safety certificate tracking, Part 4 rights. The compliance engine is on every plan, not an upsell.
AI Inside Every Workflow
Predictive maintenance, applicant scoring, and financial forecasting. AI is part of how Rentalize works, not a feature you turn on.
Modern Platform Architecture
Cloud-native SaaS, mobile apps, open banking, API integrations. Built with 2020s technology for 2020s housing management.
Where Tilt Affinity May Fit Better
No platform is the right fit for every organisation. Here is where Tilt Affinity may be a better match.
Established Track Record
Tilt Affinity has been in the Irish market longer and has existing relationships with several AHBs. If your organisation already uses Tilt Affinity, switching costs matter.
Regulatory Returns and Cost Rental
Tilt Affinity produces NOAC and AHBRA returns and carries cost rental scheme features today. Rentalize does not yet. If those returns are the reason you are buying, that is a real reason to choose Tilt Affinity.
